Double headed QJs Happy Valley 2004

Double headed QJs Eastbound emerging from the tunnel at Happy Valley . The QJ was the standard steam locomotive in use on the JingPeng line. This was the only place in the world where steam locomotives were still used in regular daily service on freight and passenger trains.

Listen as the engines slip wildly just after coming into view. The smoke blackens as each shovel full of coal is thrown into the fire. One engine slips slightly as the driving wheels pass by the camera.

Now is this line still using steam?

[daletherail]

No. Steam ended on this line in 2005.
